Last year, singer Gloria Gaynor performed in Israel, even serenading Shimon Peres (twice).
At the time, she told him “I love Israel and I am happy to be here.”
Today, Ido Aharoni, Israel’s Consul General in New York, tweeted a photo of himself with Gloria, taken during that visit, expressing how honored he felt to be giving her the MLK award this weekend – prompting the following.
@IdoAharoni @IsraelinNewYork @Ostrov_A @AviMayer @EladRatson Humbled and honored and so appreciative to receive this award.#gg

Tweeting this – with an #Israel hashtag no less – especially during the insidious Israel Apartheid Week – is no small deal.
